yeah almost reaching 0 degrees is fun LOL!

hmm, i'm tempted to swap gearbox with you lol. possible to provide gearbox specs (mainly the model # etc) to me? (perhaps get a mechanic to identify it)
mine's an old 3 speeder auto though, not a 4 speed so your fc will take a big hit if you tend to speed with your LMST

meh, dad sourced the parts by himself when i go raya at Steno's house. so can't swap i guess

anyway, i dont think 4g13p can couple with 4 speeder auto from 4g92 right?

Da foreman check da wiring oso..when he troubleshoot da lampu bernyala..as in he short da wires near da tank da indicators lights up.... N he said no problem... Bt the problem still thr le..

Guess whose car is this.

Involved in Speed Fest yesterday hehe

eh review on speedfest experience put on hold a bit, work etc, lacking time to write lol.

anyways yesterday was on the turn in towards duta flyover from jln kucing (it'll pass by solaris dutamas with all the government buildings/quarters etc)

as i was speeding around 100-110km/h approaching the sharp'ish corner (most stock standard car can easily go through that corner at that speeds while still maintaining on a single lane) the vehicle in front was a little slow so i had to hard brake a bit (unable to overtake too as both lanes are occupied pretty much, and it'll be left lane overtaking which is wrong anyways) and somewhat expected, warning signs/instincts popped up that my rear's about to slide.

funnily enough, instead of cadence braking and counter steering back to slow down + straighten the car, i instead had the gut feeling to check my side/rear mirrors, confirmed that the whole 2 lanes are clear. at this point, it's as if the tires are telling me: "this is nothing, keep going!" and so, i listened - gradually increased the throttle, the rear swings out further, and i'm basically going side ways with my car occupying 2 lanes and i'm looking ahead at my passenger side's a-pillar.

this only lasted a short mere 3-5 seconds or less, at around 90km/h or so, but DAMN the adrenaline rush!
as i slided further on the left lane (again, that fly over only have 2 lanes), the car on that lane is faster than the car on the right where i was initially at when i started to slide and was pulling away leaving a gap between himself and car on the right lane.
in the end i basically slide out to the left lane, and counter steered myself to straighten the car as i cut in to the right lane finally exiting the fly over into duta highway.

that was just... fun. REALLY FUN!
even until the next day (today as i am writing this) i couldn't believe what i have done and it was a pity i did not have it all recorded down. even unbelievable was that the confidence that was instilled within me, it would have never happen EVER on other tires even on the Achilles 123 semi slicks i used to had.

thinking further it could be actually scary, as it's probably a matter of time before i got too over confident and got myself burned for it
well, let's hope that is not the case then

hi all. how much for proton saga windscreen? mine cracked. too bad, hit bt stone fall from lorry. n he run away

Less than rm400 incl install. Go call up few windscreen specialists to ask. Many in kepong, ampang for example.

thanks bro. quite expensive. is it possible if i buying insurance for winscreen now? or wait till my current insurance expired. expired in october

If it's cracked already, then you should NOT CHEAT and buy insurance now to claim. You know why cost of insurance is going up and up? because of fraudulent claims. Sorry not trying to be all righteous or whatever, but I get very agitated when people complain about cost of insurance going up, or when corruption happens but yet ordinary rakyat will think of trying to cheat/bribe for little things. It starts with the little things!!!! In any case, if you add on windscreen insurance, companies will want to take photo/inspect your windscreen (guess why, thanks to fraudulent claims!!!)

I didn't have my notes with me yesterday, but I checked and the cost is this:

RM320 laminated incl. installation about 1 hour
MG AUTO WINDSCREEN SDN BHD

This is just one shop, there are many more just make some effort to call and ask.

Alternatively, there are so many shops that do windscreen repair for less than RM100 if it's a small crack/chip. Go survey and find out ,there is one in SS2 main road, Glass Mechanic, I've used this shop before and repairs to a 4" long crack is still good after so many years now (3 or 4 I can't remember). E.g. look at this blog -> http://www.bhauto.my/retak-cermin-boleh-diperbaiki/

All the best, sorry if my rant offended some.

i do agree with your rant/post and none offense taken. i insure windscreen every year (rock magnet, sigh) anyways and i am reluctant to claim because my huper optik is more expensive (500+ lol) than the glass itself ROFL

umm not sure on the windscreen, however original proton FWS cost around 300 liao, labor definitely wont be 20. (after labor ~400)
up to an individual if they want to stick with ori or not la XD

I did ask for ori proton, and that was the price quoted to me. Anyway, prob need to ask around.
For the same reason as you, i repaired my windscreen rather than replace (not on this proton, other car). Even if insurance cover the windscreen, unfortunately to retint would cost another big bomb. Vkool elite.

eh guys,

how many turns you can do on your steering wheel until it locks from neutral straight position? mine only 1.5 rounds and lock, wafak? that kinda explains the damn bullshit turn radius :/

Same as mine. neutral to lock = 1.5, so "lock-to-lock" is 2 x 1.5 = 3.0 is about average.
If you google "steering lock-to-lock" it varys from 2.2 to 3.3.

well i just tested another iswara, 2.2-2.5 ish.
damn. i need to do something about my steering rack/turn radius :/
